by NoBiggie Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:47 pmDoes anyone know if there is an alternative for the stock reverse light on a 1967 Econo van? I've seen the threads for the tail lights. Mine is a bit rough.

Good info, I am thinking about trying the spray on chrome method for the plastic bezel and see how it looks.

Because it's a outside part I would think real chrome would be the way to go, the other I sure would be better for interior parts

Check the website with the spray on chrome in the other thread. They are painting motorcycles, entire cars, etc. with the spray on chrome. It's supposed to be pretty tough after the clear coat. I will contact Matt after he gets the details worked out.

Just FYI on these. I bought one and it got here today. Doesn't fit the 67' reverse light. It's not round but oval, and it's smaller diameter.
Still looking for something that will fit 2 7/8" diameter. Will let you know if I can find anything.

This is the one I think it is supposed to be. I ordered one off eBay and will let you know.

2 7/8" diameter, held on by a retaining clip.
Search ebay for part no. 12405.04. This is the official Jeep part number for the lens.

I will check and see. It's for sure oval shaped. I put it in the bezel and it was a no go.
